The biggest story of the week, John Conyers' 6+ hour-long 'Imperial Presidency' hearing on Friday, gets little attention and nearly no Corporate Press coverage. So what do the networks do? Have presidential candidates on! Presumptuous candidates of the two major parties will "grace" the airwaves this Sunday on the "news" shows. Dem contender BARACK OBAMA will have a sit-down with Tom Brokaw on MTP. Then it's a MCCAIN two-fer with George Snuffagupolis then later with U-boat Captain Blitzer! Can you stand the excitement??? Don't hold yer breath for a one-hour sit down with Libertarian BOB BARR, Indy RALPH NADER or Green CYNTHIA MCKINNEY. Save all your bricks for KARL "Turd Blossom" ROVE on Fake News Sunday. Be sure to listen to the rebroadcast of Ring of Fire Radio with JANE MAYER, author of the new book,"The Dark Side". Jane Mayer also was on the panel at Conyers' hearing, too. Check out her Democracy Now interview HERE for the whole hour!. The Brick TeeVee crew has been in Birthday Bash mode all weekend and was unavailable for comment, as they have all gone to the bar to celebrate! Enjoy the shows while the crew takes a hair-of-the-dog during the Sunday talkies!

ALL LINKS OPEN A NEW WINDOW!!!

Yet another book has come out pointing out the crimes and misdeeds of the Bush Administration, this one by New Yorker investigative journalist Jane Mayer entitled The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals, yet hardly a peep from the Mass Media. We found a great 1 hr interview at Democracy NOW! HERE which you MUST watch! So this week's talking heads will have none of it as usual. The WH Limo comes out of mothballs and picks up CONDI RICE for a chat with U-Boat Captain Blitzer. Riding with her is Treasury Secretary HANK PAULSON who also visits with FACE THE BOB to tell us the economy is gangbusters. Also in the WH Limo Ride-Share is JOINT CHEIF ADMIRAL MICHAEL MULLEN gabbing at the low-information viewers of Fox Noise Sunday telling us how the war is "turning the corner". Don't tune out faux until you watch EVAN BAYH battle JOE LIEBERMAN. Then switch over to Meet the Tom to see AL GORE tell us we're all FREAKIN' DOOMED if we don't listen to him and the scientists and stop being so wasteful and greedy! Speaker NANCY PELOSI will tell us on Wolfie "Impeachment is STILL off the table but John Conyers can have a two-hour spot on C-SPAN". Haha! It's true! See Raw Story Congressional hearing to examine 'Bush Imperial Presidency' on July 25th. Do check out CHRISTOPHER "God is not great" HITCHENS on Ring of Fire Radio to discuss his recent waterboarding experience! The Brick TeeVee crew has been sunning themselves after cleaning up the garden and yard. And we found the critter that ate last year's crop: the GOPHER that lives under our tool shed! He crawled under the fence and we chased him outta there! We'll make sure he and his live-in mate get some table scraps and goodies from the garden when we get some veggies (hopefully soon)! Enjoy your Sunday!

Although Dennis Kucinich has introduced yet another impeachment motion and Nancy Pelosi hinted the Judiciary Committee might actually DO something about it (see Raw Story Kucinich impeach bill charges Bush 'fabricated threats'; Pelosi hints at possible hearing) you can bet the talkies will have none of that! You might actually want to watch Fake News Sunday with Billionairre Oil Man T. BOONE PICKENS. Then it's presidential race politics the rest of the way pretty much. The GOVERNATOR is back, this time on This Snufagopolis. Meet the Tom has on CARLY FIORINO up against CLAIRE MCCASKILL while Face the Bob pits CARL LEVIN against RICHARD LUGAR. Tune in U-Boat Captain Blitzer for THREE Death Matches, especially McCain Economic Adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer vs. Obama Economic Adviser Jason Furman, where Ms. Pfotenhauer tries to explain away the OTHER McCain Economic Advisor PHIL GRAMM who earlier called Americans the "nation of whiners". If all this seems too predictable, tune in Massa in the Morning and a good Ring Of Fire Radio replay later. The Brick TeeVee crew is BACK from their Holiday Independence excursion to the East Coast, only to find the garden EXPLODING. Four foot high tomato plants! Eggplant, cukes, zucchinni and squash beginning to flower! Beans streaming up the fence! And WEEDS! ARRRGGGHH! We'll get the garden ship-shape in no time!
